It sure is quiet around here…kids are back to school and I’m back to Quilt Cabana today. I can’t wait to jump into that clean sewing room and touch fabric and thread! I’ll be working on this angel quilt for my aunt’s friend this week. The gold bias tape outlining everything has been glued down but not stitched and it needs some basting and quilting.
For Christmas I received this set of redwork embroidery mitten ornaments. It became the project I relaxed with while the kids were on school break and last night I finished stitching the 6th and last ornament. I’m thrilled to have gotten them all stitched over vacation. Now I need to cut out the mitten cuffs and mitten backs and then blanket stitch them together.
Tomorrow’s post will be the second in a series about Karen Ehman’s new book, Keep It Shut. I’ll be focusing on chapter two of the book.
Pre-order 1 or more copies of Keep It Shut by midnight 1/5 (tonight!)& get tons of FREEBIES! http://bit.ly/1IB608N
See you tomorrow!

That quilt is absolutely gorgeous, Sandi! Was the border one piece of fabric, or you did the gold outline for the rectangles also? Your mittens are soooo cute, beautiful stitching, and I love the patterns on them.
Hi Kati,
The entire quilt top is fused applique including the border. I did not assemble the quilt top, I’m just taking care of the quilting for my aunt’s friend. It is a lovely quilt, I love it.
Thanks for stopping by the blog!
